Another issue with it was something that I never could figure out. Unfortunately Ubuntu did not like the system at all and wouldn't even boot past the Ubuntu title screen. When I got it someone tried to put Ubuntu on it. So where did I get the power supply and hard drive? I was given not too long ago a Compaq Presario laptop that was suppose to be running Windows XP as its operating system. Keep in mind that this laptop was found on Shopgoodwill for $5 about six years ago and came with no power supply and no hard drive. The sole reason was to just see if it could be done. After reading RickR's post on his classic laptop I got inspired to try to get mine going again. In one of my YouTube videos (I think) I mentioned having an old Compaq laptop that I was wanting to get going someday.
